Haute couture or niche designers? With its luxury stores, the Right Bank has made the reputation of Parisian style. On the Left Bank, St-Germain-des-Prés also hides many a treasure.
Chic, nothing but chic
From the Champs-Élysées to the Place de l?Opéra, with Rue du Faubourg-St-Honoré and Place Vendôme in between, you'll catch yourself daydreaming as you windowshop at designers' boutiques and jewelry stores.
A Bohemian attitude
Hot, young designers and Bobo boutiques await you in the lively little streets on the Left Bank. From Sèvres-Babylone to St-Sulpice, you might have a hard time deciding what to look at!
The first department store in Paris
The Bon Marché houses all the big name brands, so you're sure to find what you want. Find a treat for your taste buds at the adjacent Grande Épicerie food store.
Shopping in the Marais
Surrounded by prestigious museums and art galleries, the Rue des Francs Bourgeois is teeming with popular boutiques where you'll find ready-to-wear and accessories at reasonable prices.
From tip to toe
Rue Meslay in the 3rd arrondissement attracts shoe lovers. If you see a gorgeous pair of designer shoes you want, go ahead, it's a bargain!
Avenue Montaigne and Champs Elysèes
If Paris is synonymous with fashion, then Avenue Montaigne and its
surrounds should be directly translated to "extremely expensive fashion."
Home to the top couture houses and the most chi-chi shopping in the city
(and perhaps the world) the Avenue Montaigne area is replete with top-notch
designers such as Calvin Klein, Celine, Chanel, Christian Dior, Prada and
more. Although the largest concentration of upper-crust establishments is
found on Avenue Montaigne, most people know the area for the world-famous
Champs Elysèes, the self-proclaimed most beautiful avenue in the world. And
while Champs Elysèes has in recent years attracted decidedly lower-rent
tenants like the Gap and the Disney Store, it still provides a wonderful
mile-long stretch for strolling, window-shopping and people-watching.
